Cats are true carnivores. While you may choose a vegetarian lifestyle, don't assume it's healthier for your cat also. Cats aren't able to convert beta-carotene into vitamin A the way we can. They must get vitamin A from animal tissue {called preformed A}. Cats are also unable to convert linoleic acid {an essential fatty acid} to arachidonic acid the way dogs can so they must get preformed arachidonic acid from its only source-animal tissue."
